Dual Custom Gas Fireplaces – A Customer Journey
Smart home technology, breathtaking views, Italian marble, French limestone, and NanaWall retractable glass walls are only a few of the extraordinary features of this modern contemporary hideaway in the Haven Hill neighborhood of Tiburon, CA. When Lowell Strauss, of Amalfi Ridge LLC came to us looking for custom gas fireplaces for this gorgeous hillside residence!
We started working with Lowell Strauss and David Kotzebue, the Architect who created this masterpiece, in Spring 2015. They originally came to us with a need for a see-through custom gas fireplace for the master bedroom/bathroom. We custom designed and built this gorgeous gas fireplace to fit seamlessly into the modern feel of the home. After receiving their first fireplace and absolutely loving it they proceeded to order another custom gas fireplace for the home.
3 Sided Corner Gas Fireplace
Their first fireplace is an Acucraft Custom Gas 3-Sided Corner See Through Fireplace elegantly merging the master bedroom and master spa bathroom.
